Rich in tradition and luxury, The Los Angeles Athletic Club, which was established in 1880 as L.A.’s first private urban country club, sets the stage for a wedding that combines traditional glamour with modern romance. Our sumptuous sophistication reflects both the proud history and the modern renovations of this private urban haven.

Steeped in its foundation of athletic excellence and home to many of Early Hollywood’s social elite, the Los Angeles Athletic Club welcomes you with the kind of attention that will make your groom feel like a sports hero and your bride feel like a movie star. You can both feel confident trusting our knowledgeable and caring staff with the smooth, expert handling of your wedding.

The Club provides the bride and groom with a free night in our hotel and access to your bridal suite throughout the wedding day. We also give discounted parking, breakfast, and workout privileges to any out-of-town wedding guests staying at the Club.

The Los Angeles Athletic Club offers you an elegant venue reminiscent of Old Hollywood with the comfort and personal attention of a private club. You’ll feel better than a movie star on the red carpet as you walk down the aisle on your wedding day.

Your guests will feel it the moment they arrive: they are about to witness something wonderful. After being treated to lemonade and lemon water upon entering, they join the ceremony seating arrangement, and settle in for something special. You are ready. Not only have you been waiting for this moment, you have been planning it.

Our expert ceremony coordinator helps the hour run smoothly and beautifully by providing a full run-through the day before and by organizing your wedding parade’s walk down the aisle. We also supply a platform and standing microphone as well as your use of our Bridal Suite throughout the day.

Choose the ceremony location you like best: outdoors overlooking the city on our magnificent rooftop, or indoors among the wood panels, artwork, and large windows of the Main Lounge. The roof gives you both a sense of intimacy and the feeling that the whole world is witness to your vows of love. The Lounge conveniently situates your ceremony between cocktails in the Main Bar and the dinner-dance in the Main Dining Room.

Everyone is seated … All turn in anticipation … Here comes the bride.

You’ve walked down the aisle, exchanged rings and vows, shared a passionate kiss, and toasted your long, happy life together. The only thing left to do now is dance the night away.

Whether you prefer an intimate gathering of up to 90 friends and relatives in the L.A. Room or Empire Room; or you want to sprawl out with up to 250 people in the Main Dining Room, Lounge, or Bar; or you prefer to host up to 125 guests on the rooftop of the Club, we will help you create your own custom party paradise in any of these fabulous locations. We offer flexible floor plans, individual attention, a portable dance floor, referrals of preferred vendors, and the option of a daytime or an evening reception. We also provide excellent consultation and the kind of superior service you expect from a private club. Our highly trained and experienced wedding specialist gives expert advice and is here to help throughout the planning and setting of your soiree.

A party whose purpose is to honor your union ought to be beautiful, unforgettable, and done your way. This is the first party you are attending as a married couple, and it represents the lifetime of celebration that your marriage is to be.

You don’t need us to tell you how important your wedding is. You already know that you want everything to be perfect. We just want you to know that we know. We provide individual attention and experienced consultation, offering lots of options within three different wedding packages. Included in each is a cocktail reception with bar and hors d’oeuvres, a beautiful ceremony, a delicious dinner, a magnificent wedding cake from one of our trusted vendors, and champagne or sparkling apple cider to toast your happiness.

The Club is not a wedding factory; we take pride in playing our part in your dream and in offering you our custom details and expertise. We provide a complementary room for the bride and groom, available to you throughout the day. We offer location choices with flexible floor plans for both the ceremony and the soiree. You can have rehearsal time, food tastings, color choices, table linens, chiavari chairs, and a dance floor, as well as expert consultation, ensuring that everything looks gorgeous, feels elegant, and runs smoothly on that special, all-important day of your wedding.

If you want a truly dramatic setting for the ceremony or celebration of your wedding, we invite you to go “up on the roof” where the air is fresh and sweet.

A one-of-a-kind combination of the outdoor and the urban, this heavenly location puts you right in the heart of the City of Angels.

Whether you use it for your walk down the aisle or for your wedding reception, the Club’s rooftop provides an unbeatable backdrop for spectacular photos. Let The Los Angeles Athletic Club set up your platform, microphone, dance floor, or whatever you need. You supply up to 125 of your closest friends. Choose a daytime reception following your ceremony or an evening soiree when, according to the old song, the stars put on a show for you and your darling to share with all your well-wishers.

Find the paradise that’s right smack dab in the middle of town and allow your guests to join you in the place where all newlyweds ought to be: on top of the world.

When guests gather to celebrate your union, it is a time to eat, drink, and be merry. It is a time for feasting. A time for toasting. A time for pleasure shared among family and friends.

On this most joyous occasion, you want your loved ones—and you—to be treated to fabulous, festive food that is both delightful and delectable.

No doubt, you will find these challenges to be a lot of fun. And once all the decisions have been made and the big day has arrived, you can rest assured that your wedding cuisine will be absolutely amazing. Then, not only will your guests enjoy the culinary delights offered at your wedding, but you can relax and enjoy them as well.
